Don’t flush trouble

Helpful hint:Print out the flier above and post it in your bathroom or kitchen
to remind yourself what needs to be thrown away!

Think sinks and drains, too

Protecting water quality starts with each of us! Here are some more helpful tips.

Use screens to keep hair, fruit stickers and other stuff out of drains and pipes.

Scrape out greasy bowls, pots and pans before washing. Keep fatty foods and meats out of the garbage disposal, and put cooled, solidified grease in the trash.

Don’t put unwanted medications down the toilet or sink. Worried about keeping discarded meds away from kids or pets? Many pharmacies across King County now take back expired or unwanted medications for safe disposal.

Got paint, pesticides and other household chemicals you no longer need or want? King County’s Wastemobile and Household Hazardous Waste Dropoff sites are a much safer alternative to putting these things down the drain or in the trash.
